3.11.2024 More Minor worries.

 ~o~

  Sunday 3rd 46F/8C[8.15] Heavy overcast and breezy. No hope of sunshine today. Yesterday was the day to be outside.

 Up at 7.30 after a quiet night of dreams. The washing up hasn't been done. 

 8.30. A walk, I think. It looks miserable out there.

 I walked around a field by the spray tracks. The dull and breezy weather does not inspire me to go for a ride. I'll go for a drive instead.

  12.00 Back from visiting two Sunday flea markets with pretensions of antiquity. I saw two more retro display cabinets by the same maker as mine. Triangular floor plans seem to have been their theme. Not for sale. They were being used for display. A very smart English grandfather [longcase] clock was selling for only £40 equivalent. I was sorely tempted but have two already. Neither of which is running but could if I wound them. 

 The Morris Minor engine is missing beats. No idea why until I do some research. I have lit the stove. The room had dropped to 61F/16C. Definitely not warm enough.

 16.15 70F/21C. The lady from the village called after lunch. Stayed chatting for a couple of hours. She was bearing gifts. Home made quince sweets, home made raw honey and my favourite tea bags.

 16.45 I have just finished the washing up. Four days worth!

 Dinner was fish fingers, peas and pasta.
